Fisticuffs - Apocalypse Now [7", 1997, Motherbox]

"But her emails" memes would be so tired and trite if there wasn't always some fresh new horror that it applies to. 


Angry punk from Pennsylvania. That's about all I know! Reminds me of Christ On A Crutch at certain moments. 



Orthodoxy

Fintan O’Toole in the New Yorker:

…the Great Hunger was a very modern event, and one shaped by a mind-set that is now again in the ascendant. The poor are the authors of their own misery. The warning signs of impending environmental disaster can be ignored. Gross inequalities are natural, and God-given. The market must be obeyed at all costs. There is only one thing about the Irish famine that now seems truly anachronistic—millions of refugees were saved because other countries took them in. That, at least, would not happen now.

Bad Liquor Pond - Let The River Come 7" [2009]



Pretty great neo-psych from Charm City. "Electric Splash" is available on the "Blue Smoke Yellow Sky" album (not sure if this exact version), while "Let the River Come" is only available on this 7".
